I can say that Atletico Madrid looks like a club that only fills the top of the standings and the knockout stages of the Champions League but they don't have the capacity to become champions. I don't know why I saw it like that. Atletico Madrid were champions in the 2020/2021 season but after that they were only competitors in La Liga. I also see that Simeone always uses the same tactics and is not very effective. But I don't think we can blame Simeone because he managed to get Atletico Madrid to play in the UCL almost every season with players who I think are not quite great players.
So far Atletico Madrid has been able to be consistent enough qualify in the Champions League every season, but before and after they won the championship in the 2021 season, they are like a team that is no longer able to even reach the semifinals, what you say seems to be true, because so far every season we have not seen many changes that have occurred in the strategy and also the game scheme of Atletico Madrid, Regarding their ability to continue to qualify for the Champions League, of course it is their squad which is indeed somewhat better than other teams in La Liga apart from Madrid and also Barcelona at the moment, I think we can't deny that if La Liga is not too competitive, of course it makes Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico easily qualify for the Champions League so far.
Next season Atletico will compete again in the Champions League, but it seems that their achievements are not better than this season achievements, Atletico so far is still very pasif in terms of strengthening their squad and even now it seems that they do not have a target player who will indeed be recruited to strengthen the team next season, so indeed we don't need to expect much if their are able to surprise us in the Champions League later.
